Song Sparrow (merrilli-type) - Rodeo Lagoon, Marin County, California, USA - December 5, 2025
Observation details
'merrilli-type' located behind Shed T1111 (northeast of the main lagoon) at exactly the same site frequented by one over the last two late falls/winters - so conceivably the same individual returning for its third winter in a row! Largish, plump, rufous-colored Song Sparrow with rufous-brown streaks to the breast, streaking on the back and large gray supercilium and grayish wash to the nape.
